KASSI ASHTON RELEASES NEW SONG “VIOLINS” TODAY

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 25, 2019) – Kassi Ashton, one of the most compelling rising stars in Nashville, has released her highly anticipated new song “Violins” today. Produced by Luke Dick and Luke Laird, and co-written by Kassi, Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby, the empowering anthem seesaws between her dynamic delivery, raucous twang, and wailing guitars.

Kassi’s undeniably authentic lyrics are on full display, as she shuts down deceitful former lovers with a chantable hook that almost everyone can relate to, “I can’t hear the violins you’re playin, there’s no symphony inside my head. I’ve got my own marching band, guess I lost my give a damn.” “Violins” is available now on all digital streaming platforms HERE, and the accompanying lyric video can be seen HERE.

“We (myself, Natalie Hemby, Luke Dick) were sitting in Luke’s studio one morning. We got on the subject of my ex’s and how all of them had been unfaithful to me,” Kassi said about the initial inspiration for the track. “We were discussing the steps of getting over it and how they usually all come running back, whining, begging for a second chance. That’s when I rolled my eyes, raised two fingers to my ear and mimicked what my dad used to call “the world’s smallest violin” to accompany their take-me-back tears. I started joking, saying that for most, I didn’t even care to serenade their second chance efforts. I didn’t have time for that because I have better shit to do. It was Natalie’s idea to call it “Violins” and Luke brought the funk. I just had to bring the attitude and experience.”
